Introduction The population of Dundee was then still consisting mainly of Europeans following this order in priorities: Irish and Scottish, English and French, such as in the 1871 census mostly merchants, farmer, and labourers. They are recorded from page 1 to page 42 containing 1037. Many pages were unfortunately basically unreadable. Some individuals are mentioned as being from Yellow Island, which meant Cornwall Island, also known back then as Yellow Island or Kawehnoke. Then from page 42 to 60, the native population was consisting of 467 natives. The Mohawk population starts with Francois Jock and his wife Nancy. The main themes observed in the census tabulations were presented as this example:

Dwelled house

families Name Sex Age Birth country / area

Religion Origins Occupation

175 175 Marcoux, Francois

M 75 Quebec Cath French Priest

The context of the European population associated with the clerical living among the native village consisted of 3 residences and/or families. The first residence recorded was from Priest Francois Marcoux, 75, French Priest living with his brother Abraham, 57, gardener and Francois Longueuil, 75, Laborer, from NWT and Victoire Maurice, 52, a housekeeper. It is interesting to notice that the so-called laborer of Priest Francois Marcoux, Francois Longueuil from N.W.T (North-West territory) is presently qualified as a French man, but the last 1871 census he was censed as Longueil, Francois, 66, half breed, from MANITOBA servant of Francois Marcoux, Priest. In this census, he is qualified as a French man. It is very interesting to notice that contrary to Kahnawake, there are no mixed unions mentioned with Europeans in Akwesasne according to the census results. Only 3 individuals were from the only 2 presented mixed unions, but since the wives family names are not mentioned, it remains speculative.

The second residence consisted of Jock, Henry, 55, Farmer, French Jock, Joseph, 20, son, French Jock, Marie, 23, daughter, French

From the Eastern Door2

From THE EASTERN DOOR of July 3, 2015 the 1871 census analysed was summed-up in an article

entitled Akwesasne Census from 1871 ties directly into issue today:

Population of Huntington West, Sub-district of Dundee, Indian Village.

Source: The Eastern Door

The territory on the Quebec side is known as the Tsikaristisere or “Dundee lands” is on the south

shore of the St. Lawrence River roughly opposite Cornwall. It consists of approximately 20,000

acres in the most Westerly portion of the Province of Quebec, in the area now known as the

Township of Dundee. Historically, it was part of the land recognized as set apart for the

Mohawks of Akwesasne.

The Municipality includes the small village of Sainte-Agnès-de-Dundee and the hamlet of

Dundee. Dundee's name is derived from the industrial and harbour town of Dundee in eastern

Scotland, on the north bank of the River Tay, and means Hill of the Divinity (Dun De) or Fort Tay

(Dun Taw). Mr. John Davidson, the first postmaster of Dundee, and native of Dundee, Scotland,

is generally regarded as the founder of the municipality and was instrumental in the naming of

the Township (Toponymy Commission of Quebec).3

The Dundee municipality was constituted under the laws of Lower Canada on July 1st, 1855. The

area was colonized in the early 1800s by United Empire Loyalists who came from the United

States, and by Irish and Scottish settlers. It is located in the extreme southwest corner of

Quebec, bounded by the Canada-US border and Akwesasne, south of Lake Saint-

François. United Empire Loyalists (or 'Loyalists') is an honorific given in 1789 by Lord Dorchester,

the governor of Quebec and Governor General of British North America, to American

Loyalists who resettled in British North America during or after the American Revolution. They

settled in what was initially Quebec (including the Eastern Townships) and modern-day Ontario,

where they received land grants of 200 acres (81 ha) per person.

From the early 1800s, the Dundee lands had been leased out to non-Mohawk settlers. Some of

the leases were made directly by Akwesasne Chiefs, while others were made with the

involvement of the Crown. None of the leases were proceeded by a surrender for lease of the

lands by the Mohawks.

In 1888, the superintendent general of Indian Affairs offered $50,000 if the Mohawks agreed to

surrender their interest in the lands. On February 16, 1888, a document was signed that was

interpreted as a surrender. The interpretation was however disputed by the Mohawks and

maintained their aim was to gradually reclaim the leased lands.

The federal government offered $239.8 million to Akwesasne to settle the claim that dates back

to the 1800s, according to the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne. The specific claim centers on

8,100 hectares of land along the south shore of the St. Lawrence River which the Akwesasne

Mohawks say was never surrendered. The area, found in Quebec, is known as the territory of

Tsikaristisere or the Dundee lands.4

The census made by John Davidson, a 39 year old Scotch, Secretary Treasurer municipal

council, starts with the White population, mainly from page 1 to 55, then, the Mohawks start on

page 56 until 81. Even though many widows appeared; 30 men and women were widows, the

Mohawk population constituted of farmer and laborers was presenting a very young average

age.

The demographic statistics of the 462 Mohawk population registered goes as follow:

12 years old and below: 165 individuals 76 women and 89 men

Between 13 and 40 years old: 215 individuals 107 women and 108 men Between 41 and 59 years old: 53 individuals 29 women and 24 men 60 years old and older: 29 individuals 14 women and 15 men There are several families apparently linked with those from several Two-Mountains,

Kanesatake censuses and registers of the same period, such as the Beauvais, Cook, Garrault,

Jacobs, Lafrance, Latour, Lizot, Ori8akete, Papineau, Paul, Peter, and Sawennondane.

The crop season was potentially not very productive this year since 41 families have not got

back home from their winter quarters in Ontario, as cited on page 70 where this notice appears:

Akwesasne people: ethnical & origins The demographic statistics concerning the 1129 White people registered goes as follow, also presenting a population in full growth: -12 years old and below: 408 individuals

-Between 13 and 40 years old: 471 individuals

-Between 41 and 59 years old: 139 individuals

-60 years old and older: 108 individuals

They were 20 English, 197 Irish, 507 Scottish, 328 French. 40 Dutch, 3 Swedish, 4 Germans & 2 Americans and only 13 were from 4 Métis unions. The names of French people were absolutely massacred so a full revision needs to be made when looking for details concerning them. All those named Roy became King, Desroches became Deruchia, Lacombe became Lashombe, and Moreau became Norrault, to mention only these.

55

Dutch, Germans and Swedish people were all farmers, as most from the other ethnical populations met. Some important people who most potentially had relations with the Mohawks were merchants and the clerical responsibles. The clerical responsibles were: Fortin, Rev.

The population of Dundee in 1881, which consisted of 1,037 Europeans and 467 Mohawks.

The main themes observed in the census tabulations were presented by this example:

The European population: From page 1 to page 42, 1,037 individuals followed in this order ethnologically: Irish and Scottish, English and French; and, as in the 1871 census, they were mostly merchants, farmers, and labourers. Some important people potentially leading relations with the Mohawks were listed as: Baker, David, English merchant, 58 Baker, William, English store clerk, 27 Bourdon, Joseph, a French merchant, 41 Davidson, John, Scotch, 49 Farlinger, Nelson, German, trader, 63 Gallarneau, Joseph, a French fisherman and hunter, 50 Leduc, Peter, Quebec, Catholic Priest, 41

The first residence (recorded 175-175, which meant same house and family, corresponding by numbers), was from priest Francois Marcoux, 75, French priest living with his brother Abraham, 57, gardener and Francois Longueuil, 75, Laborer, from NWT and Victoire Maurice, 52, a housekeeper. The so-called assistant of priest Francois Marcoux, Francois Longueuil, is qualified as a French man and Laborer from N.W.T (North-West territory) but in the last 1871 census he was previously described as Francois Longueil, 66, half breed, from MANITOBA, servant of Francois Marcoux, priest. It is very interesting to notice that contrary to Kahnawake, there are no mixed unions mentioned with Europeans in Akwesasne, according to the census results.

Only three individuals were born from the only two presented mixed unions, but since the

wives’ family names are not mentioned, it remains speculative, even though they usually write

the origins, if different, in the appropriate column identifying Europeans.

The second residence 176-176 consisted of Jock, Henry, 55, Farmer, French, Jock, Joseph, 20,

Conclusion

Needless to say; the Akwesasne censuses are usually mainly fiascos considering that the names

mentioned in most of them are not the traditional names, but names given to them by the

governmental authorities.

In the parish registers managed by the priests, the names are written with traditional Mohawk

orthographic formulas. The census responsibles seemed to have also improvised the first names

of several individuals, so it cannot be taken as a main tool to look for your ancestors.

Several collaborators from Akwesasne brought their contributions by clarifying certain

problematic linked with names, and we mainly came to the same conclusions: without a doubt it

obviously didn’t seem to be important for the authorities then in charge to focus on the

Mohawk population. They seemed obviously relying on the massive exodus of the Scottish, Irish

and English population coming mainly from the USA to colonize this part of land which is

Dundee.

The next census to analyze will be from 1891, where the same pattern of names and surnames

is still being repeated unfortunately, but since certain details are observed when duely analyzed,

it will be put only shortly as well.
